# You should always specify InitialToken when setting up a production
# cluster for the first time, and often when adding capacity later.
# The principle is that each node should be given an equal slice of
# the token ring; see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations
# for more details.
#
# If blank, Cassandra will request a token bisecting the range of
# the heaviest-loaded existing node. If there is no load information
# available, such as is the case with a new cluster, it will pick
# a random token, which will lead to hot spots.

# The partitioner is responsible for distributing rows (by key) across
# nodes in the cluster. Any IPartitioner may be used, including your
# own as long as it is on the classpath. Out of the box, Cassandra
# provides org.apache.cassandra.dht.RandomPartitioner
# org.apache.cassandra.dht.ByteOrderedPartitioner,
# org.apache.cassandra.dht.OrderPreservingPartitioner (deprecated),
# and org.apache.cassandra.dht.CollatingOrderPreservingPartitioner
# (deprecated).
#
# - RandomPartitioner distributes rows across the cluster evenly by md5.
# When in doubt, this is the best option.
# - ByteOrderedPartitioner orders rows lexically by key bytes. BOP allows
# scanning rows in key order, but the ordering can generate hot spots
# for sequential insertion workloads.
# - OrderPreservingPartitioner is an obsolete form of BOP, that stores
# - keys in a less-efficient format and only works with keys that are
# UTF8-encoded Strings.
# - CollatingOPP colates according to EN,US rules rather than lexical byte
# ordering. Use this as an example if you need custom collation.
#
# See http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations for more on
# partitioners and token selection.

# Each key cache hit saves 1 seek and each row cache hit saves 2 seeks at the

# cases. Async has been tested to be about 50% slower than sync
# or hsha and is deprecated: it will be removed in the next major release.
#
# hsha -> Stands for "half synchronous, half asynchronous." The rpc thread pool
